    Sean and team did amazing work on our main living areas where the ceiling needed to be repaired from old water damage and other patched areas. They made it look new again! They were great to work with and responded quickly with enquiries as well as the initial quote. Highly recommend and I would use them again :)

    Cranky&Sons did such a great job plastering and painting over a disaster in our bathroom, kitchen, living and dining ceilings. Previous dodgy plaster repairs (not diy) made the job extra difficult but they were so professional and went the extra mile to ensure that all the previous dodgy fixes were resolved before being painted.

Frequently asked questions

How much do painters typically charge?
Painting costs depend on the size of the job, the condition of existing surfaces, and whether the work is interior, exterior or both. Jobs requiring significant preparation such as sanding, filling or priming will generally cost more than a straightforward repaint over sound surfaces. Most painters quote per square metre or per room, with exterior work and multi-storey access typically attracting higher rates. This page shows live pricing for jobs in your area.
Do painters need a licence in Australia?
Yes. In most Australian states and territories, painters carrying out domestic work above a certain value must hold a trade-specific licence or registration. Licensing requirements and thresholds vary by jurisdiction — for example, NSW requires a Contractor Licence for painting work. A licensed painter should be able to provide their licence number on request, and you can verify it with your state's building authority.
How should I prepare my home before painters arrive?
Most painters will handle masking, drop sheets and surface preparation as part of the job, but clearing the area of furniture, wall hangings and fragile items beforehand helps the job run smoothly and may reduce your quote. For exterior work, ensure the painter has clear access to all walls and that garden beds or outdoor furniture are moved back. Discuss any specific concerns like lead paint, mould or moisture damage before work begins so the painter can plan accordingly.
